Growing Sedum (Stonecrop): Drought‑Tolerant Succulents

Upright Sedums

Plant in full sun (partial shade in South) in average, well‑drained soil. Pinch spring growth by ⅓ at 4–6 inches for compact habit. Dried flower heads provide winter interest. May need staking.

Low‑Growing Sedums

Excellent ground covers for rock gardens, walls, and troughs. Same cultural needs as upright types—thrive with minimal water and care.

Sedum Tile®

Pre‑grown coconut fiber mats for easy installation. Lay tiles 12 inches apart over 2–3 inches damp soil, firm, water. For containers, cut mat to fit, plant over damp soil, water.

General Care

Drought‑tolerant once established. Avoid wet soil. Divide in spring. Few pests.
